This tool for lighting designers, lighting programmers, video programmers, ... allows smart note-taking during rehearsals or shows. The added timecode for each note item makes it easy to have a timing reference after the notes were taken. The main advantage is the direct readout of grandMA2's timecode session data, which makes travel with a lot of extra MIDI/LTC/... tools unnecessary. FEATURES: - grandMA2 session integration: Reads timecode from grandMA2 session (without extra LTC/MIDI equipment) - Instant timecode: Timecode is saved with the first letter in the entry field - Templates: Use 6 individual "quick-note" templates with frequently used notes - Todo/Done: Swipe to mark notes as done - Photo: A photo can be added to each note entry - Details: Add detail text to each note entry - Sharing/Export: Export or share notes (AirDrop, Messenger, Notes App, ...) - Always-On mode: Prevents your device from going to sleep mode while the app is opened - Dark entry mode: A dark theme to relax your eyes in low-light situations - Remote control viewer: Access grandMA, StreamDeck, Widget Designer, ... web interfaces while seeing current timecode. - Settings: A lot of settings and user options to adjust everything to your needs FREE VERSION: The free version includes all features of the full version, but the incoming timecode is limited to 1 hour (01:00:00:00). Please test the app in your network setup before buying the full version! TUTORIAL: - make sure your grandMA2 session is started - connect your iPhone/iPad to your grandMA2 session - use a fast wifi router without multicast filtering - simply enter your notes: enter saves the current note and timecode - timecode is saved as soon as you start typing IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS: A fast WiFi connection without multicast filtering is required! Works only with "TimecodeSlot" pools (MIDI in, LTC in, generator, ...). Currently tested with grandMA2 version 3.2.2 - 3.9.0 (current). This app "wire-tap's" the grandMA2 network session, so there is always a small risk of losing functionality with new software versions. This is NOT an official app from MA Lighting Technology or MA Lighting International.
